Where Filmed

Where was The Avengers: Age of Ultron filmed?

The second part of the Hollywood blockbuster The Avengers, is the most international Marvel movie yet. It was shot on location in five different countries: Italy, South Africa, South Korea, United Kingdom and Bangladesh. The production was based in Shepperton Studios (part of Pinewood Studios), near London.

The Avengers filming locations in Italy

The Hydra fortress at the beginning of the film, located in the fictional Eastern European nation of Sokovia, was filmed in Fort Bard. This is a 19th-century castle, situated in the historic route that controls the pass between Italy and France in the Aosta Valley (northwest of Italy). For the Avengers attack, the castle was lined with fake snow and many extras were recruited from the local population. Image courtesy of Marvel Studios and Crivellari Giulio

Sections of the city of Aosta were transformed into Sokovia's capital. Explosions, rubble and terror unleashed around the market square. Some more scenes were also filmed in the towns of Donnas, Verrès and Pont-Saint-Martin (pictured), featuring an angry Scarlet Witch and her speedy brother, Quicksilver.Image courtesy of Marvel Studios and Google Maps

It seems that the former Yugoslavia was the inspiration for Sokovia; The signs of the streets were replaced by others in Serbian, and some old eastern European cars were placed in the set.Image courtesy of Marvel Studios and Google Maps
